DJ has slight wear and soiling. Cyrus Leo Sulzberger II (1912 – 1993) was a U.S. journalist, author, and a member of the family that owns the New York Times. During the 1950s/60s, he was that newspaper's lead foreign correspondent. Cy, as he was commonly called, joined the family paper in 1939 and was soon covering stories overseas as Europe edged toward World War II. Among the reporters who worked for him during the war were Drew Middleton and James Reston. He wrote two dozen books in his lifetime. Because of the circles he traveled in, he sometimes carried messages from one foreign leader to another; for U.S. President John F. Kennedy he conveyed a note to Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. It is said that he was closest to President Charles de Gaulle. More

New York: Avon Books, 1997. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. xiv, 290 pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight soiling and scratches to DJ. This book is an Association Copy--inscribed on 28 September 1997 by Captain Jeff Smiley, Aide-de-Camp, to a Major General, thanking him "for the opportunity to serve in a position of this level." The author recounts his World War II encounters with Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the revolutionary B-29 bomber who would eventually select him to lead the atomic mission to Nagasaki. Charles W. Sweeney served as a major in the 393rd Bombardment Squadron. He was regularly assigned to the Great Artiste as the aircraft commander and participated in the mission to bomb Hiroshima as co-pilot of the Great Artiste. Days later, he was the aircraft commander on strike plane Bockscar during the Nagasaki Mission. Then Major Charles Sweeney piloted the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the second atomic bomb in Nagasaki, for which he was awarded the Silver Star. He retired from the military in May 1976 with the rank of Major General. When the Enola Gay dropped its uranium bomb on the city, unleashing the power of atomic energy for the first time as a weapon of war, the Great Artiste dropped measuring instruments. On Aug. 9, Major Sweeney piloted the Bockscar, carrying a plutonium bomb even more powerful than the Enola Gay's bomb. At 11:01 a.m., the bomb was dropped on the industrial city of Nagasaki, killing and wounding tens of thousands, heavily damaging a steelworks and arms plant and demolishing thousands of residential buildings, according to an American bombing survey.

Washington, DC: Potomac Books, 2012. First Edition [stated]. Hardcover. xv, [1], 363, [5] pages. Includes Acknowledgments, Preface, and About the Author. Book of the year sticker on DJ front. Inscribed on the title page by the author. Inscription reads: To Fireside Forum, for the Library. Sara Mansfield Taber. From literary journalist Sara Mansfield Taber comes a deep and wondrous memoir of her exotic childhood as the daughter of a covert CIA operative. Born under an Assumed Name portrays the thrilling and confusing life of a girl growing up abroad in a world of secrecy and diplomacy—and the heavy toll it takes on her and her father. As Taber leads us on a tour through the alluring countries to which her father is assigned, we track two parallel stories—those of young Sara and her Cold War spy father. Sara struggles for normalcy as the family is relocated to cities in North America, Europe, and Asia, and the constant upheaval eventually exacts its price. Only after a psychiatric hospitalization at age sixteen in a U.S. Air Force hospital with shell-shocked Vietnam War veterans does she come to a clear sense of who she is. Meanwhile, Sara's sweet-natured, philosophical father becomes increasingly disillusioned with his work, his agency, and his country. This is the question at the heart of this elegant and sophisticated work: what does it mean to be an American? In this fascinating, painful, and ultimately exhilarating coming-of-age story, young Sara confronts generosity, greatness, and tragedy—all that America heaps on the world. Her psychological insights into the costs of a clandestine life are fascinating. More
